Did you know you should be checking your estimated Social Security benefits occasionally?

It is critical that you make sure the Social Security Administration is providing you with all of the disability benefits to which you are entitled each month. When mistakes occur this can lead to incorrect Social Security payments.

Call 1-800-503-2000 to speak with a representative today.

If you think your earnings record is correct, but Social Security calculated your benefit incorrectly, you can request what Social Security calls a “recomputation” of your benefit.

The Social Security Administration will run a Benefit Statement on request for anyone with a Social Security number. The report details your annual earnings, as reported to Social Security by the IRS, over your lifetime. If you think the SSA has made a mistake with your disability benefits contact a Phoenix Social Security disability benefits attorney at Dayes Law Firm PC today.

However if you think a mistake was made, documentation will help your case. This means you will need to locate tax forms, W-2 forms or pay stubs which can substantiate your claim.

If you are unable to locate these documents, you are encouraged to do the following:

  • Write down your Social Security number
  • List your employer including address
  • List the dates you were employed
  • List how much you earned

Agency officials investigate your concerns using this information.

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) may feel like an overwhelming task. The SSDI application process requires a great deal of paperwork, in addition to the time and effort it takes to gather the medical and administrative documents you will need to substantiate your claim.

While mistakes are bound to happen, the best thing you can do if you are owed benefits is to contact an experienced Social Security Disability attorney to assist you.

At the law offices of Dayes Law Firm PC, our highly skilled Social Security disability negotiators and litigators will walk you through the entire Social Security disability process.
